Among newest developments in this direction are electrical fittings, millions of which are required by the aircraft industry.

In addition, tail fairings, wing fillets, cowlings, and other unstressed or lightly stressed parts are now being made from a form of papier- mache. This material is also being used in construction of engine parts such as supercharged air intakes and other items that lend themselves to molding. The paper, in a form of laminated plastics, is built up in layers and bonded with adhesives of a special Weekly. Persimmon leaves have been found to give exceptionally high values in vitamin content.

However, the cold fact remains that in many such foods the public has lie- come so accustomed to the refined products that they refuse to return to unprocessed oods.

A shining example of this is illustrated by the bread consumers. Many bakers have tried to popularize the whole wheat type of bread which contains most of the desired substances in natural form, but the effort has been futile. The public just doesn't take to whole wheat bread on a large scale and as a consequence, enriched white bread is here to stay.

And Beatty knows what he is talking about, because he was 15 years old when he joined a circus at Chillicot.he, Ohio, and has taken an important part in show life ever as trainer of wild animals. And this stocky young trainer, who has been in a score of throughout the country because of being attacked by lions and tigers, admits there are times when the arena gets too hot for him. That is when a real fight breaks out among the as they are called in the language of the circus. Next to protecting his own life, Beatty must see that the valuable beasts do not kill each other. He has lost six tigers that way thus far in his career.

another remarkable statement he recently made: rather break in a cat developed in a jungle than one raised in civilization. It is easier to keep a jungle-bred animal in subjection to you than one raised in a zoo where it has been used to people ail its life. never command a cat to do a difficult trick unless I can look into his eyes. My whip and my revolver are partly stage props, I crack the whip to keep the animals mind upon me constantly. 1 fire the revolver when the cat gets too determined.

The shock of the explosion shaken off its purpose the mind of an animal with a single-track idea. But I trust them. A jungle instinctive hatred of man is a biological gap that cannot be The 37-year-old animal trainer who has had more than 20 experience in the cages of lions and tigers, has had occasion to observe many peculiarities of the animals. He has found, among other things, that in a fight between a full grown lion and a full grown tiger, the lion has a -light advantage because of the thick mane protecting his throat and his great- eight. A lion i no braver or fiercer than a tiger, but in a group of animals the tiger has a chance in a figrht which goes to a conclusion because the lions are gangsters.

When a lion and tiger engage in a fight, the other lions invariably go to the assistance of the lion, while the rest of the tigers refuse to become even interested in their fellow tiger' plight. There is no such thing as the of the animal tfainer. The trainer, especially of big cats, controls his charges by bluff and fast footwork. Some time or other he must fight it out with every animal to convince it of his mastery. If he loses a round and goes to a hospital, he must take op the fight win he returns.

never take an animal for Beatty explains. admire him for the great beast he is and the way I handle him commands his respect for me. abest, I have had that, hated While Beatty has no among his 40 cats, some are more dependable than others. Yet, Nero who got nation-wide publicity a few years ago because he "-a believed to have driven off tiger which was attacking Beatty, later almost caused the death from a bite he inflicted in a sudden attack, Beatty says there is only one answer to that law of the jungle. The whip is cracked continually to keep the animals attention upon the trainer.

The pistol is carried in the left hand with the chair, the whip in the right A fire hose or ammonia is used to douse animals in cases of emergency RED, THE FOX By LOUISE E. ALEXANDER in Dumb Down in South Brewer, Maine, two little children are followed about by a lively little playfellow. At first people could hardly believe they were seeing a small red fox on the streets, acting just like any playful puppy. Asking the chi Idr en where they got the fox, the people listened to this true childish version of how Red came to be their pet: was coming home from a fishing trip way up to Harrington Lake, when he saw a little animal in the road. He got out of the car and went over to it, picked up a baby fox and put it in the car, for it was sick or hurt, daddy know which.

he got home, daddy made a bed for the fox in the cellar, and took care of him until he was strong, then one day he took way up in the woods and left him, because a Wanted him to find some other little foxes to play with. missed Red because he was just like a puppy, playing with us, and was never tied or never ran away. Mother let Red go anywhere in the house, and he even slept the chairs. When he wanted to go out he went to the door and barked, and by and by we would hear him bark and scratch at door, then we would let him in. Red had been gone two days we heard an awful scratching and barking at the kitchen door.

Daddy went to open it, and in came Red like a flash, around and around us he jumped and barked. We thought he would eat us up. chase Red sometimes, but. they catch him. Red never bites, he only takes out- hand in his mouth, not even When asked who the fox liked hr the children both said, You knoy he saved life, why he love him Daddy says, adopted us, and wants to live here with our Despite general belief, cruelty cannot be used in successful animal training.

It is slow, laborious work, done over and over in winter quarters, until the animal gets the knack. Some learn a tv'ick in four weeks, others require four months. And should some mischance occur during the training, it frequently is necessary to start all over again. lion or tiger that leaps at the bars to reach the trainer when first introduced to the audience, is more to be trusted than one that Beatty says. cat animal never attack- it trainer because it is hungry, ft does it through viciousness.

Their tet th never are pulled and they are not Beatty al says the trick of putting your head in a mouth is all bosh. No trainer ever did he did was to place his face into the mouth, holding to the upper and lower jaws with his hands. Beatty says the greatest arena battle in his career occurred in OolJingsville, in 1929. He followed the usual practice of letting in three tigers to take the high pedestals, and 20 and lionesses followed before he hine-slf entered the safety gate. This period, he savs, although not realized hy the audience, is the high point of act.

The animals mill around in the arena and i job as he enters with whip, chair and revolver to take in.stan*, command and seat the animals. After he ha formed the living pyramid, he lets in the rest of the tigers. This night he had hardly pyramided the entire group when Snip, a tigerc- jumped down and tried to get through the gate into the chute leading out of the arerr A lioness jumped off her pedestal upon her, and Duke, a lion, seized the tiger. All the other tigers, three, jumped to the floor, not so much to join in the fuht, as to be ready to escape. The tigers had hardly touched the floor until every lion in the act was after them.

The arena was in uproar, screams of the frighu ned audience adding to the bedlam. The iron bars of the arena with the conflict. All except three tig- were engaged, which, meant twenty lions were fighting nine tigers. The three non-combattint tigers kept their seats and one actually dozed, while the battle raged, although he wa known as one of the greate-t fighters in circus history. Beatty, trying to work his way to safety, suddenly was attacked by Chester, a tiger, which was at the same time fighting off half a dozen lions.

The lions pulled iter down. Beatty knew he was in great dagger inside a barred cage with 21 maddene which had completely lost their head: Then a tiger shook itself free and took its seat beside the safety door. Then a lioness quit the fight and took a seat on the other side, then Chester made his decision for the trainer. Shaking loose from the lions, he prang Beatty who streaked between the two seat (Continued top next coumn) animals to safety with a scratched arm and a torn shirt to show for his narrow escape from death. Ammonia was loosed and the animals left the arena.

That is, all except one tiger that was dead and another that was dying. SAVE WOOD ASHES FOR GARDEN FERTILIZER Victory gardens this spring can benefit from the wood fire that crackles in your living room. Save all wood ashes, keep them in a dry place and rake them into the soil when you are getting your seed bed ready, is the advice of II. G. M.

Jacobson, Connecticut Experiment Station agronomist. Wood ashes are a good source of potash and lime, and they also contain some phosphate. They are not a complete fertilizer, however, because they are lacking in the nitrogen. If this is needed (and it. usually is) it must be obtained from some other source.

Well-rotted manure is best, if available. Ashes of paper burned in the incinerator or stove are not safe to use. Air. Jacobson cautions. Although paper is made from wood, it is apt to contain acids and other substances added in the manufacturing process, and these may not be good for plants.

Coal ashes, of course, are of no value as fert ilizer. Even wood ashes should be used with judgment; there can easily be too much of a good thing with fertilizers. Excess of potash causes plants to have pale, undernourished- looking tops. This difficulty is more apt to arise in alkaline than in acid soils.

The color is due to over fifty kinds of single-celled algae, one of the most primitive of living things, it has been found by Miss Erzebet Kol, scientific, research worker. The kind of algae depends on whether surrounding mountain slopes are acid or alkaline in nature. Since the dust solves slowly in the moisture on snow or ice this provides the minerals for the algae.
